THE UNITED JEWISHFUND CAMPAIGN
An Editorial
There is no doubt in the minds of American Jewry today that there is a war being definitely waged against Jews in Europe—as planned and deliberate as thou!;h it were a war between two sovereign nations. That it is the duty of thc Jews of America to send to these helpless Jews under fire the only type of ammunition that can be of use to them—funds for food, for clothing, for medical care, for education, for trade training; sums large enough to offset thc terrible want and privation that occur when a helpless minority living in the poorest circumstances is further imposed upon by in¬ humane discriminations. Columbus Jewry, jis in previous years, is equally interested in the aims and efforts of the various agencies which are seeking funds to reconstruct the lives of Jews in Germany, in the refugee lands, in Poland, Roumania, and other sections of Europe. The local sub¬ scribers realize too that their one contribution also goes towards the maintenance of thc leading Jewish institutions and organizations in America. 1
Upon E. J. Schanfarber and Simon Lazarns and their co¬ workers, again falls the burden of raising funds for worthy causes, the minimum goal this year being $44,000, with the hope of raising $50,000. TO ACCOMPLISH THIS OBJEC¬ TIVE, SUBSTANTIAL INCREASES ARE IMPERATIVE. Through the efforts of these two men practically 100 cents of every dollar collected will go directly to the various Jewish institutions and emergencies for which they are intended.
Thc forthcoming campaign is a means and a test of local unity in meeting the great emergency of our people. I^et those, who have them'sclves been so sorely tried during recent years, express their gratitude to God by answering the appeal most generously.
The Ohio Jewish Chronicle expresses the hope that with the forcefulness and courage of our local leaders, so useful in rallying the community during depression years, will be equally fruitful this year in helping conquer the most difficult problems facing us today. We are confident that Columbus Jewry will again rise to the heights of generous giving and go "over the top" in the campaign starting next Thursday evening, June 10th.

BERLIN (WNS) — Enraged hy the tearing dpwn of the swastika flaig in San Francisco, the Nazi press demanded that the United States take vigorous action "against an insult to the German flag and give Germany self-evident satisfac¬ tion to assure the protection of its symbol of sovereignty" The Deutsche .Ulegemevie Settling said "we ask that not only shall satis faction be given to the German flag and the German people, but that the necessary measures he taken to make such inoidenls impos-^iblc in the future " 'i he Bociit nceituitfj de¬ manded "ofhcial measures which are nnperatiic for human and poht¬ ical reasons "
NEW YORK (WNS)—Avoidance of "uncalled-for offenses," espe¬ cially "insults agauist thc othei country's flag and against the other country's head of state, acts which necessarily are resented by everv self-respecting nation," are essen¬ tial if relations between the United States and Germany are to im¬ prove.

TEMPLE FORUM TO HOLD ANNUAL BALLYHOO
AccoftUiig U* Trtiy Feibel, i>reswlent, all jilaus have been completed for the sixth annual Ballyhoo, of the Brydeii Roatl Temple Forum organization. The affair will be held next Monday evening, June 7, at 7 o'clock, at the VViiuIiiig Hollow .Country Club. A Uiniiep vvill precede the evetiing'a pro¬ gram at which time election of ofTicers for the cn.suing year, will also take place.
and medical colleges, have the largest percentage of Jewish stu- deiit3"m America, it is revealed by Dr Lee J Levingcr, director of the B'nai B'rith Hillel I'oundation Re¬ search Bureau, iii an article m thc June issue ol the B'nai Brith Maga¬ zine Based on au exhaustne in¬ quiry into the status of Jewish stu¬ dents in more than 1,300 collLgeis and universities, Dr Le\mgers sur- >ey shows Jewish students consti¬ tute 2637% of denta! students, 2511% of law students 2232% of pharmaLy students and 1668'"() of commerce studentb, while Jewish medical students are fifth on the list, with 1615%. Jewish students HI other profcbsional schools are hited as follows 136% in social work, 112% in veterinary medi¬ cine; 6.98% m engineering, SOS'/o in education, and 2 5% m agricul¬ ture
Of the 105.000 Jewish college stu¬ dents, 35,000 are registered in pro- fes<iionaI schools, 4,000 or one out of every six being medical students and 7,500, or one out of every four, bemg law students The survey showed that while there are large perceniages of Jewish studenti. in the dental and pharmacy colleges, ncitlier dentistry nor pharinacy as profcbional fields m the country as I vvhole IS overcrowded Dr Lev¬ inger also found optometry schooK hiive <i fairly large proportion of Jewish students and that one in every si\. ^.tudents in commerce col¬ leges IS a Jtw. The field of account¬ ing, he reported, "is largely closed to Jewish graduates of the com¬ merce colleges, as very few hrmg engaged in this work will hire them On the other hand, business aa a vvhole has always been open to th? Jew "
Tbe survey also disclosed that there are only 4,500 Jewish students ainong the 150,000 education stu dents, a small percentage largely accounted for, Dr. Levinger .says, by the fact that many boards of education, especially in rural areas, discriminate against Jewish teach ers. A similar situation prevails.!" the.field of engineering where only about 7% of the students are Jews, while 2.5% of the 10,000 agriculture Etudeutii are Jews. ''The fields which seem most open to Jewish aspirants are pure research and the arts writing, music and fine arts," Dr, Levinger tleclares, "but in these, our college statistics Rive us very little enlightenment, as most of our future scientists and artists are takms general cpurse's. today, and many of them may not be in college at all."
